Drama Game: Stream of Consciousness

Type:  Creativity

Purpose:  Super simple game that helps actors think quickly and spontaneously.

Procedure:

1.  Actors stand in circle.

2.  Leader stands in center and gives one actor a word.

3.  That actor must then just empty his/her head in a stream of consciousness that is evoked from that word.  The actors must never stop talking.

4.  Leader will then pick up a word from that student and give it to the next actor to go on a stream of consciousness with.

NOTE:

– Encourage the actors to never hesitate.

– Consider “eliminating” actors from the circle if they take too long of a pause.
